Array ( [sid] => 22472 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Something my daughter taught me [time] => 2003-08-29 13:05:00 [hometext] => Everyday I learn something new from my two year old. This poem is for her with lots of love and for my husband who shares my incredulity that we should be so blessed [bodytext] => She is unique with an open mind
That learns not too slow or too fast but just right
Revelations come in their own good time
She trusts in herself to see the light

When the struggle has been long
She’ll stop, start, stop, restart, and go on
Not knowing she’s close to the questions answer
Learning bit by bit from what experience hands her.

And when she finally gets it, oh the luminous bliss
The spark in her eyes, the strength in her smile
Self-belief grows in moments like this
Her labour has been worthwhile

So what has she taught me?

That we are unique with open minds
We learn not too slow or too fast but just right
Revelations come in their own good time
Trust in yourself to see the light

Something my daughter taught me

Not knowing she’s close to the questions answer
Learning bit by bit from what experience hands her.

And when she finally gets it, oh the luminous bliss
The spark in her eyes, the strength in her smile

That we are unique with open minds
We learn not too slow or too fast but just right
Revelations come in their own good time
Trust in yourself to see the light

Oh How Wonderful! I loved your poem. I had two daughters and when they were young, just like you they taught me more than I could ever teach them. I can tell you are a very good mother.
Save that poem for your daughter....it will thrill her to think you wrote that for her!
love,lovingcritter,

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
